Hollywood Stars Are Mobilizing to Defeat Georgia’s HB 481, Which Would Essentially Ban Abortion in the State

WGAE and @WGAWest oppose Georgia's abortion ban legislation #HB481. This draconian anti-choice law would discourage people in our industry from working in Georgia and could harm the state's vibrant film and television industry. Full statement attached. pic.twitter.com/bAfJkhXSTv

Women could be imprisoned for the use of drugs–even legal, prescribed drugs–while pregnant. This bill is moving while bills to address maternal mortality, rural access to pre-natal care and more languish. The hypocrisy goes on and on and at times leaves me speechless. #HB481

Comrades in Georgia are dropping banners in protest of a recent bill that will ban abortion in the state after six weeks, which is too soon for women to even know for sure that they've missed a period.

Let Georgia legislators and Governor Brian Kemp know what you think using the hashtag #HB481IsBadForBusiness. Contact information for Georgia officials and scripts expressing opposition to the bill (as well as other issues) are available here.

Update: The Georgia House of Representatives passed House Bill 481. It will now be sent to the desk of Republican Governor Brian Kemp, where he is expected to ratify it.
